The Pigmy and the Giant.

That the worm will turn, under certain
provocation, is al undisputed axiom, but to
what avail it has ever been difficult to dis
cover. The Volks Zeitung is a plucky, out
spoken journal, and in consequence Prince
Bismarck caused the editor to be proceeded
against, but failed in the undertaking. Now
the proprietor has turned plaintiff and has
prosecuted the German chancellor for parlia-
mentary offenses against the paper and its
editor. The public prosecutor, however, has
given it as Ills decision that, as Prince Bis
marck is a general of cavalry, he can only he
made answerable to a military court.
To this The Volks Zeitung retorts that the
prince has never commanded with the colors
and that his rank of general is purely honor
airy. In support of this view it draws atten-
ton to the fact that only the other day the
exercised, as he always has done,
his right of voting for parliamentary can
didate, although soldiers on active service en-
joy no electoral privileges. The Volks lei
tung announces quite seriously that it intends
to carry the case through all the civil courts,
and, if necessary, before military tribunal,
which will have one effect, that of worrying
the chancellor to desperate resorts, as he has
q terror of anything in the way of cross
examination. This contest between the pigmy
and the giant will arouse great deal of
interest i'll l.. fatherland.

Tin Cans for Preserving Food.

Improvements are constantly being mad,
in tin cans for preserving food A recent on
consists in SO forming the lid that it is merely
pressed on and the can is Dramatically sealed
SO that no internal pressure can remove the
lid Water boiled in tin thus closed hes
failed to force it off, although the steam
pressure has burst the can itself. A penny
piece, however, used as lever by being
placed under rim formed around the top of
the cover, with the shoulder of the tin as a
fulcrum, raises the lid with remarkably
small expenditure of power. The principle
involved in the device is that of the wedge
and lever. The neck of the tin on which the
lid fits is formed at very slight angle from
the vertical and the rim of the lid is made at
a corresponding angle, no solder being used
to form the joint. By means of this arrange
ment, therefore, the opening of the cans is
rendered remarkably clean, quick and
simple operation.

EXPERIMENT IN MAGNETISM.

Insert a light thread in the needle, tie and
cut of one end, leaving single thread six or
eight inches long. Lay horseshoe magnet
on table with the poles in front. Magnetic
the needle by rubbing it several times, always
in one direction, by one pole Of the magnet,
after each stroke returning the magnet in an
arc through the air. Take the end Of the
thread between thumb and finger and slls-
pend the needle over its attractive pole,
allowing the point to come within one fourth
of an inch of the magnet, then, with a circu-
lar sweep of the hand to keep the point in
position, draw the eye of the needle down to-
ward the other pole. This, if carefully done,
will bring the needle to horizontal position,
where it will remain, floating or in suspen-
sion as long as the thread is held steadily.
The magnetic forces operating to produce
this effect appear to be, first, the attraction Of
the left pole for the point of the needle;
second, the repulsionrof the right pole for the
same point; and third the attraction of the
right pole for the eye of the needle, which is
resisted by the thread supporting the needle;
the latter also is held from approaching the
left pole by the same means. The experiment
may he made more effective by covering the
magnet with sheet of paper, thus conceal
ing it.

The Manufacture of Bisulphite Pulp.

The achievements of bisulphite in Germany
are said to be menace to some branches Of
the English paper trade, and already to have
considerably crippled it. The adaptability
of this pulp to the uses of our American
manufactures, according to The Paper World,
is already proved Not '.lly has it been i'm
ported in considerable quantities from Nor
way, but the pulp is made on this continent
in two mills and finds greedy purchasers
The mill of the Ekman process near Provi-
dence, r. l., makes an excellent fiber, and
has been in operation for two years. The
first mill to begin the manufacture under the
Rtter-KellnerP Darlington process is at Hall
fax, and found ready market for its pro-
duct from the very start, a large portion Of
it coming to New England. A mill now
building at Monico, Wis. is to he operated
under the same patents, and SO is another mill
now going up at Saugerties, N. Y. where W.
H. Parsons, ex-president Of the American
Paper Manufacturers association, is to estab-
lish the new industry.

Breakfast Parties.

Breakfast parties are in great favor with
many people, being less expensive than din
ners and Just as satisfactory to the guests.
They are served at any time from 10 to IL
o'clock. At breakfast parties, with the ex-
ception Of the silver service being on the
table all the time for tea and coffee, the
dishes are served in courses precisely as for
dinner. I'D

following tempting bill Of fare for a summer
breakfast: First course-Melons. Second
course-Little fried smells, perch or trout,
with sauce Tartare, the dish garnished with
sbrimps and olives; coffee, tea or chocolate
Third course-Young chickens sauted with
cream gravy, surrounded with potatoes la

This is ornamented with pattern worked in

The design is first stamped on; then two
threads of double zephyr are laid on it short
distance at time, and caught down at regu-
lar intervals with floss of different shades.
One or more colors of the zephyr can be used,
as the taste suggests. A design of circles in
terwoven into each other is very pretty; this
can be carried out nicely with tea cup and

Heat Rays from the Sun.

A mercurial thermometer held in the suns
rays and not in contact with any other body,
says one scientist, will show but little rise in
temperature, the radiant heat being reflected
from the bright surface of the glass bulb like
light from a mirror. But if the bulb be
coated with lampblack or some absorbent of
heat rise in temperature will be indicated at
once So the heat rays from the sun may be
passed through lens of ice and concentrated
to a sufficient degree to ignite combustibles
placed at the focus without melting the ice of
which the lens is formed.

PhOtO.ChromOtype.

The perfection Of the process termed photo
chromotype, for the production of colored
prints or chromos, is due, it is said, to the
house of Aeyerer & Goschel of Vienna. The
copy for reproduction in colors is first photo
Autographed, and from these impressions the
draughtsman works in the desired colors.
For instance, upon one sheet the yellow is
laid, upon another the red, this being re-
peated until each tint has been worked in
upon its corresponding separate sheet Mega
tives are then made for each, and from these
zinc printing plates are etched in half tone
The balance of the process is then nothing
more than the usual fitting of color stones in
chrome photography.

Using Water in journal Boxes.

The foreman in charge of the Edison dyna-
mos, running in st. Louis, has made the dis
coveiy that water may be used to advantage
in keeping down the temperature of journal
boxes and to the exclusion entirely Of friction
easing oils. In comparison with using oil
the pillow blocks exhibit marked difference
when touched by the hand. Formerly they
were too hot for anything like continued
pressure of the hand, while now they are
comparatively cool at all times. The journals
also show greater advantage, the brightness
of surface denoting friction having given
way to duller and more nearly natural color
of metal
